This knife had been in my pocket for around 5 years with regular use (and sometimes abuse). Would recommend, it’s a good selection of actually usable tools to have on you for those times when you aren’t carrying a toolbox. Sometimes I’ve used the pliers even when I do have my toolbox with me, which is not something you would consider with a lot of cheaper multitools.
Over time the casing did become more silver than black and I did manage to break a few things - the can opener didn’t like taking a chain link clip off, the precision screwdriver didn’t like being used to pry at something (part of inside a door lock from memory), and the large flathead failed when popping a partition cover port off. I thought that last one wasn’t something that should have broken the tool so after a few months I finally got around to sending it back for warranty over that and they replaced it without question.
I see the propaganda brain worms have infested this comm too. Shame, as I like good tools.
I think you’re going to have to be a little more specific there, sport. Who am I supposed to be propagandizing for with my decades-long real world experiences? Leatherman or the Chinese?
And much as I might wish Leatherman would sponsor me to go around shilling for them, this is unfortunately not the case.
